10,950 PointsHelp initializing ServiceConnection
After trying to complete this challenge, it says I still need to initialize serviceconnection. I thought I already did, what else do I need to add? Thanks!
public class GeolocationService extends Service {
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
//Client methods
public int getLatitude() { return getLat(); }
public int getLongitude() { return getLng(); }
}
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
int latitude;
int longitude;
private boolean mBound = false;
private ServiceConnection serviceConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
@Override
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
mBound = true;
}
@Override
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
mBound = false;
}
};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button updateLocationButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.update_button);
updateLocationButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
}
});
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
super.onStart();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, GeolocationService.class);
bindService(intent, serviceConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
}
@Override
public void onStop() {
super.onStop();
if (mBound) {
unbindService(serviceConnection);
mBound = false;
}
}
}

Treehouse TeacherNothing. Looks like this was being rejected due to 'serviceConnection' being private. But that should be fixed now :)
